As anyone with more than a handful of employees knows, enrollment and management of employee benefits is a frequently tedious, time consuming process. Between the constant fight to remain in compliance with HIPAA and other federal and state laws, open-enrollment periods that can keep HR professionals tied up for weeks at a time, and the usual demands of hires, fires and COBRA issues, you have a major man-hours project on your hands.

According to a 2013 employer survey conducted by Accelir, a human resource strategy advisory firm, 91 percent of companies include a service rewards program as part of their employee benefits package.

It’s no secret that America’s workers are busy. Between family obligations (like sick kids or ailing parents) and necessary errands (like annual physicals and renewing driver’s licenses at the DMV), few can dedicate paid days off to real vacation time. Fortunately, some companies have found a way to remedy this situation. They call their solution “unlimited PTO,” and it combines paid sick days and personal/vacation days under one “paid time off” umbrella for employees to utilize at their own discretion.
